This is CdP at its mature finest. Tannins are fully resolved yet the fruit is still vibrant though delicate. Don't wait to enjoy.

I guess someone forgot to tell Jacques Reynaud 1994 was a very average vintage. Pine, herbs and leather fill your nose. All the typical Rayas red fruit filled my mouth. The only thing that kept this wine from greatness was a medium finish .
